Desert Nights
from Center of the Universe by Sofia Talvik
lyrics
The desert sun is going down
painting shadows on the ground
I sing a lonely song I’ve found
In case you’d come on by
and find me through the sound
The stars are falling from the sky
I make a wish for you and I
like a twinkle in my eye
I leave it on the ground
in case you’d come on by
I’m breathing in I’m breathing out
I guess that’s all that life’s about
You can whisper you can shout
You can ask the heavens why
but you never had a doubt
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love those desert nights
Those desert nights
I will rest here for a while
These boots have walked many a mile
And if time will be my trial
I hope you’ll bail me out
Now I’ll rest here for a while
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love where did you go
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love those desert nights
Those desert nights
Those desert nights
Those desert nights
painting shadows on the ground
I sing a lonely song I’ve found
In case you’d come on by
and find me through the sound
The stars are falling from the sky
I make a wish for you and I
like a twinkle in my eye
I leave it on the ground
in case you’d come on by
I’m breathing in I’m breathing out
I guess that’s all that life’s about
You can whisper you can shout
You can ask the heavens why
but you never had a doubt
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love those desert nights
Those desert nights
I will rest here for a while
These boots have walked many a mile
And if time will be my trial
I hope you’ll bail me out
Now I’ll rest here for a while
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love where did you go
Oh little love where did you go
Those desert nights can be cold
Little love those desert nights
Those desert nights
Those desert nights
Those desert nights

about
Sofia Talvik Gothenburg, Sweden
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music that has been described as neo-folk. She is a veteran performer with 8 original full length albums as well as numerous EPs, singles and tours behind her. ... more
